Cycling is not only an efficient mode of transport, it also has direct benefits to health and wellbeing, and is good for the environment.
Key proposals include:
- Creating a cycling budget of at least £10 per person per year, increasing to £20
- A Government strategy to increase Bikeability cycle training course for people of all ages and backgrounds
- An increase of priority traffic lights for cyclists
- The inclusion of a cyclist safety section in the national driving test and cyclist awareness training for drivers of large vehicles
Commenting, Liberal Democrat Julian Huppert said:
"I am delighted that the Lib Dems are the first party to formally endorse the 'Get Britain Cycling' policy from the All-Party Parliamentary Cycling Group, which I co-chair. Cycling is efficient, environmentally friendly, healthy and fun, and the Liberal Democrats will continue to champion cycling and walking."
